I owe my carving career to my mother. She made me peel potatoes when I was a kid and bored with the task I made little figures and animals. She allowed me to practice - and ate without complains a lot of mashed potatoes during this timeā¦
For some time I carved stone and wood until one day, about 30 years ago, someone sold me a piece of fossil mammoth tusk at a flea market. This opened a new world of possibilities and beauty for me and ever since I am in love with this wonderful material.
I had never thought of me being an ivory carver for I am an elephant lover and fiercely protective of them. But the woolly mammoth are long gone and carving their tusks helps to protect the few precious elephants we still have.
You can order custom made jewelry, spiritual art, statues, bookmarks, cufflinks, knifes, historic chess sets and/or you can make me realize your own design. As you can see I can work within a great variety of styles. You can chose between Fossil Mammoth, Bone, Tagua Nut, Leather, Wood, Silver, Bronze, Copper and Steel, Amber, Mother of Pearl, Warthog Tusk - or a combination of all!
I am happy to help you to bring your creations and ideas to life. We will communicate and work together and create beautiful pieces of art that express your personality and/or your feelings toward a person you love.
If you decide to want ivory I guarantee very piece will be made from legal Mammoth. Every piece I have has been found in the permafrost 20 years ago. There will be no replenishing of that supply.
No elephant or endangered species was ever been killed or harmed for my art!
Thank you for visiting my shop. My very best wishes for you and your loved ones!

For Code Lyoko: The Eye Of Xana Necklace PendantI had the eye of XANA pendant made and I could not be happier with the quality of the pendant. It is a nice sterling silver with a amethyst gem in the center. Working with Andrita was great. She responded quickly to my messages and the item delivery was insanely quick for a custom made item. Three days. Thank you Andrita ?

For "The Grace" Signet Ring, Terry Goodkind, Sword Of Truth, GraceWorking with Andrita was an amazing experience. She was prompt to answer any message I sent, kept me updated through the whole process, and she did an amazing job. USPS even threw a snag in the shipment process and Andrita was so flexible and worked with me to get the ring here as soon as possible, which I am so thankful for.
It really is a beautiful piece that my boyfriend (huge Sword of Truth series fan) was thrilled with. He refuses to take it off. The fit was perfect, quality of the ring and clarity of the Grace symbol is wonderful, and it has a substantial feel to it. Thank you so much for making my first experience on Custom Made an amazing one. I would definitely buy from Andrita again.

For Paddy's NecklaceAndrita has been absolutely fantastic. Not only has she made an amazing product (making some great recommendations along the way) but she is also so helpful answering any questions you have or taking into account any requests you make. She is not just a great artisan but truly strives to communicate and make sure she makes the product exactly as you want it (and once again she can come up with some great ideas of her own). Fast and efficient I truly recommend you put your trust in her too bring your idea to light. Superb I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you soooo much. : )
